In NFL 2024 Week 2, there were eight distinct upset victories by underdogs, highlighted by Atlanta’s thrilling Monday night comeback victory in Philadelphia. During the previous five seasons, eight upsets in one weekend have only occurred twice on average, so it feels good to open the season in a wild manner. The most recent power rankings for 2024 are provided using FanDuel Sportsbook’s Super Bowl odds, despite the difficulty in arranging league rankings when eight favorites fall simultaneously.

1. Kansas City Chiefs

Name it Chiefs magic. Patrick Mahomes did not have a great day, but he did put his team in position for the walk-off victory. Though it did score a touchdown and make the necessary late stops, the defense also gave up some big plays. That’s the look of championship DNA.

2. Houston Texans 

Though I’m not sure the Texans should be all the way up in the No. 2 place this soon, they were one of the few teams outside of Kansas City to win in Week 2. Although Houston’s offense and C.J. Stroud didn’t perform well against Chicago, this only provided the defense and special teams with more opportunities to show off their skills.

3. Detroit Lions

The Lions must have slept very little on Sunday night. You had Dan Campbell’s error on the poorly executed field goal during the half. The most obvious of them was Detroit’s startling 1-of-7 performance in the red zone. It was probably a 10-point Lions victory, but that’s why you watch the games. Ultimately, I’m not worrying about it.

4. San Francisco 49ers

I don’t feel overly affected by Minnesota’s defeat. That was one strange game Brock Purdy picked in his own red zone, there was a goal line stand, and a blocked punt. I don’t think that will occur very frequently. The fact that the 49ers are no longer benefiting from excellent health, however, worries me. Deebo Samuel will now lose some time due to Christian McCaffrey’s placement on injured reserve. In the end, none of it was important. Throughout their final four possessions, the Lions were within striking distance and managed just zero points.

5. Buffalo Bills

The Buffalo Bills don’t give a damn. They don’t give a damn about the other team’s skill level or the spread. Buffalo Bills have little interest in who is listed as injured or which starters are substituted throughout the match. They will just go out and complete the task.

6. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 

Really, Todd Bowles is a marvel. At the conclusion of the Bucs’ victory in Detroit on Sunday, the team had lost an All-Pro safety, both starting defensive tackles, and their nickel back due to illness. A four-point triumph over a defense lacking in depth was made possible by exceptional coaching. You may also like: NFL 2024, 3 teams in 3rd Week cover the Gap

7. Philadelphia Eagles

With Jalen Hurts’ running abilities and the Eagles’ clutch plays, Monday night’s game was beginning to resemble one from 2022. After a crushing defeat, the Eagles had a collapse that was anything but clutch as they now embark on a difficult road swing.

8. Baltimore Ravens 

Under Lamar Jackson as their starting quarterback, the Ravens are an amazing 54-7 when they have a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter. It is noteworthy, however, that five of those seven defeats have occurred after 2022. After another frustrating loss to the Raiders, these men need to get better at football in crucial situations.

9. New Orleans Saints

The powers of effective coaching are astounding. This Saints offense is largely composed of the same players who found it difficult to score more than 20 points per game in 2023. They resemble fire-breathing monsters with Klint Kubiak leading the plays. We have to concede that New Orleans might be legitimate after destroying Dallas.

10. Cincinnati Bengals

Despite a devastating setback in Kansas City, strangely enough, I have more positive feelings about the Bengals. Seeing Joe Burrow appear like himself must be reassuring, and Patrick Mahomes had a difficult time playing against the Cincinnati defense. That squad will overcome this 0–2 deficit if we see them frequently.

11. Green Bay Packers

Without Jordan Love, life wasn’t pretty, but it was also a lot less terrifying than I had thought. The Packers’ ability to outgain the Colts in rush yardage that day nearly 300 yards helped. Malik Willis might be OK for Green Bay if we presume he only needs to perform that well once or twice more before Love returns.

12. New York Jets
The Jets finished with a respectable 1-1, making them one of just four teams without a home game through two weeks. With youngster Braelon Allen looking every bit as entertaining as Breece Hall, Sunday’s victory in Nashville may have been the game that convinced us they have two reliable alternatives in the backfield.

13. Dallas Cowboys

Assuming that Week 1 was an exact replica of all the Cowboys’ successful victories in 2023, Week 2 would be an exact replica of all their disappointing defeats. To put it plainly, the defense was unable to halt the run or obtain any sort of stop. Though the primary issue was the defensive collapse, one may reasonably question whether the offense have any valuable weapons except CeeDee Lamb.

14. Seattle Seahawks

Even though Seattle’s resume isn’t very impressive right now, it’s still commendable to start the season 2-0 under a rookie head coach. In the early going, Geno Smith is quietly performing really well.

15. Cleveland Browns

It’s amazing how much more effective the Browns’ defense appeared once their offense managed to prevent a first-half deficit. Deshaun Watson wasn’t spectacular, but this club appeared more capable of contending for a postseason berth.

16. Pittsburgh Steelers

Here’s a statistic: According to Pro Football Focus, Justin Fields is tied for the greatest player in the NFL with Aaron Rodgers and Geno Smith after two weeks of play. He hasn’t made any plays that should have been reviewed. This basically indicates that in two complete starts, he hasn’t endangered the ball. This Pittsburgh defense is playing at a level that is good enough to win a lot of games.

17. Minnesota Vikings

Just ask Brock Purdy; don’t believe me? With San Francisco managing just 17 points on Sunday, the 49ers’ top quarterback informed Minnesota defensive coordinator Brian Flores that his approach is “crazy.” While there is some amusement value to the Sam Darnold Reclamation Project, the Vikings defense appears to be in control early on.

18. Atlanta Falcons

Kirk Cousins appeared to be having difficulty recovering from an Achilles injury during the opening fifty-five minutes of the Falcons’ game against the Philadelphia Eagles. That winning drive in the game, though? Whoa. Atlanta should be alright if Cousins can consistently put that together with a largely strong defensive effort.

19. Arizona Cardinals

That’s right, Kyler Murray is back. Though it’s difficult to assess the Cardinals’ defense after their 41-10 victory, Kyler is undoubtedly better than the Rams’ offense. Arizona’s run game along with Murray’s playmaking made this team exciting to watch on any given Sunday.

20. Chicago Bears

It is an ancient story. Many of us overlooked asking if the offensive line could hold up well enough to make it all work because we were too focused on the talent players Caleb Williams would have to deal with. Though I must say it’s too early to panic, it’s been far more unpleasant than I had anticipated. Nevertheless, at least the defense is vile.

21. Los Angeles Rams

The Rams’ availability is more important in this ranking than their skill level. After losing Puka Nacua and the majority of their offensive line, Cooper Kupp is the most recent casualty. Until some guys return to the lineup, I simply don’t know how good these guys are. With San Francisco on board, things aren’t going to get any easier.

22. Miami Dolphins

Best wishes to Tua Tagovailoa. Football is not as essential to him as his concussion recovery. Nevertheless, the Dolphins still have a game this weekend, and any club that loses its starting quarterback is hard to cheer for.

23. Jacksonville Jaguars

You can always bank on two or three mistakes to ruin any memorable play or run of good fortune by the Jaguars. Jacksonville does not have the luxury of time to correct its mistakes as Houston appears to be a serious contender in the AFC South.

25. Las Vegas Raiders
Gardner Minshew is a wonderful guy to watch because, as he demonstrated in Baltimore on Sunday, he can occasionally pull a rabbit out of his hat. Minshew’s performance suggests that the Raiders have a strong enough group to contend. As the season progresses, how frequently can those two things line up?

26. New England Patriots

When a lousy team fails to receive the memo that it is intended to lose, it is extremely enjoyable. The Patriots have taken up the mantle in 2024, following the Arizona Cardinals in 2023. The offense has had two opportunities to win games this season, but this defense is going to make life miserable for every team it faces.

27. Indianapolis Colts

It is believed that Anthony Richardson would struggle with consistency and decision-making. The Colts defense giving up 261 running yards against a team that is starting a backup quarterback is a little more concerning.

28. Washington Commanders
It’s not like this was a spectacular performance the Commanders defeated the Giants 21–18 without scoring a touchdown. Nonetheless, I felt that Jayden Daniels was quite well for someone making his second NFL start, especially after his first game-winning drive.

29. Tennessee Titans

The Titans have many positive aspects. The defense is formidable, and on Sunday, Calvin Ridley produced his first significant plays as a Titan. If Will Levis keeps doing ridiculous things with the football, it won’t matter. It would also be fantastic if the punt team could straighten things out.

30. Denver Broncos

Perhaps you’ve already seen this statistic, but it’s worth noting: Only 11 of the 36 passes Bo Nix has attempted to complete have gone more than five yards downfield; four of his misses have been intercepted. Growing pains were inevitable, but for the novice, it has been unpleasant.

31. New York Giants

The Giants will likely defeat the Commanders if they have a healthy kicker despite all the difficulties, they have already faced this season. Notwithstanding their knowledge of Graham Gano’s injuries, New York’s brass took no action to prevent his loss. Already, after just two weeks, the Giants have experienced that kind of season.

32. Carolina Panthers

The Panthers won’t be able to make significant progress this season. This season, they have been outscored 73–13, and now that Bryce Young was selected first overall in the draft, they have benched him after just 18 starts. While it already seems like a lost season, there must be hope that Andy Dalton can show improvement right away.
